What's worse: Jail or facing Simon?

January 26, 2006

"American Idol" twins Derrell and Terrell Brittenum are out on bond after being jailed for allegedly using false identification to buy a car last summer. But the charges have resulted in them being kicked off "Idol," the twins told an Atlanta radio station this week.

Frank Ski, co-host of WVEE-FM's "Frank & Wanda in the Morning" show, told MTV that he tried to jump right in and ask the 28-year-olds about the arrests, but their lawyer said they aren't allowed to comment.

A Fox official had no comment and would not say whether the brothers, who auditioned in Chicago, would appear on future episodes.
